Letter to the editor: Dillon Recall Election is, at its core, a simple decision

Shannon White
Dillon

If you are dissatisfied with how the Dillon Town Council members, who are subject to a recall election, vote at council meetings, if you feel the recall candidates (Dana Christiansen, Rene Imamura and John Woods) do not represent your goals and values for Dillon, then a “yes” vote to recall these three council members is in order. If you are concerned about Dillon becoming “Porrittville,” then you should vote “yes” to recall.

However, if you feel content with the current representation on the Town Council and support the proposed Porritt development and financial strategies that will be used to fund this private development, then a “no” vote to recall is the right choice for you. 

Over the past two years, I have attended numerous council meetings, reviewed town-supplied documents and analyzed public records from the state of Colorado. This includes JPJG board meeting minutes and the JPJG service plan agreement filed with both the Town of Dillon and the state. I have also carefully considered hundreds of public comments officially submitted at Town Council meetings.
Through this extensive research, I have serious concerns about the priorities of the recall candidates. The recall candidates’ decisions do not prioritize our community’s financial stability or quality of life.
For these reasons, I will be voting “yes” to recall Christiansen, Imamura and Woods.



Regardless of how you vote, what matters most is that you make your voice heard. This special election is a defining moment for our town, and participation is key to shaping Dillon’s future. Vote. Your voice matters.
